Section 4: Vehicle Operation

Factory Installed Hitch Reciever (if so equipped)
Additional Towing - Multiple Trailer Combinations (if so equipped)
If your RV (applies to limited fifth wheel models only) is equipped with a factory installed
hitch receiver, you have the ability to tow an additional boat or other watercraft trailer be-
hind your RV.
The hitch receiver may be used as a weight carrying hitch to tow a boat or other watercraft
trailer. Do not use a bar longer than 10-inches (254 mm). The maximum length of the draw
bar is from the center of the fastening pin to the center of the ball. The maximum trailer
tow rating of the fifth wheel hitch is 3,000 Lbs. (1361 kg.) with a maximum tongue weight
of 300 Lbs. (136 kg.).
The receiver may be also used for attaching a cargo basket/ carrier for other items. Ensure
the cargo carrier is properly attached to the hitch receiver and all cargo is properly secured
in place. The cargo weight carrying capacity includes the weight of the cargo carrier. The
maximum total weight when used to carry cargo is 300 Lbs. (136 kg.).
Be sure the trailer being towed by your RV is properly equipped with brakes. Contact your
tow vehicle dealer or manufacturer for assistance in determining whether a separate braking
system is recommended and what limits there are for towing multiple trailer combinations.
Check the state or province where your tow vehicle and RV are registered as well as any
state or province where travel is planned in the U.S. and/ or Canada for brake requirements
and regulations.
NOTE:
IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A JAYCO FACTORY
INSTALLED HITCH RECEIVER, DO NOT TOW
ANYTHING BEHIND YOUR RV. THE RV FRAME AND
BUMPER ARE NOT DESIGNED FOR TOWING.
If you do not have a
Jayco factory installed hitch receiver, towing items
behind your Jayco RV, overloading the rear, or failure to adhere to the
specified weight capacities
will void the warranty and may result in:
damage to the RV or add-on items, towing difficulties, property dam-
age and/or personal injury.
The hitch receiver installed on your RV is a weight carrying hitch only.
Do not use weight distribution bars or equipment when towing. Us-
ing weight distribution bars or equipment with the hitch receiver will
void the warranty and may cause damage that could lead to adverse
trailer combination towing and handling, loss of control or an acci-
dent resulting in death or serious injury.
